Sadly, the real issues that all Americans can be concerned with in the Palestinian territories get lost in the hyperbolic rhetoric of “Zio-Nazis” and “Fourth Reich.”

This photo, of what appears to be a large cardboard Israeli tank, includes a panel on “Fashion Sense” that shows Anne Frank smiling and wearing a red keffiyah beside these words:

The keffiyah (scarf in the picture) symbolizes freedom and solidarity for Palestine. “I simply can’t build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think ... peace and tranquility will return again”—Anne Frank.

The Orange County Independent Task Force on Anti-Semitism sent me an e-mail today saying the Muslim Student Union has achieved a “newer low ... by mocking Anne Frank.” They demand, as they have for more than a year, demanded UC Irvine Chancellor Michael Drake “unequivocally and unambiguously speak out against the hatred on his campus.”
